Bridges behind. Bridges in Iceland for 1100 years. Compiled by Sveinn Þórðarson. Editorial committee: Einar Hafliðason, Ríkharður Kristjánsson and Pétur Ingólfsson.
Roads and bridges are a measure of the progress of any nation. This book discusses bridges in Iceland for 1100 years. This is primarily a story of the struggle of a small and underdeveloped society in the late 19th century and into the mid-20th century for improved transportation and a better way of life. Each river that was bridged was a milestone in that struggle from poverty to wealth. With resilience and courage, a transportation network has gradually been built that reaches the entire country.
